Dynasty Leagues: 5 players to buy, and 5 to sell
- Debuting QB shows signs of greatness
- Deal Rams WR if you can get a haul
- What are we doing with Jordan Love?
George Pickens, Pittsburgh Steelers
If you have followed Fantasy CPR for any length of time, you may already know how high I am on Pickens. He is as talented as any receiver in the league and even without Kenny Pickett (if he misses any time), he shouldn't take much of a hit in terms of chances.
But there might be someone in your league who feels he will, or doesn't like the fact that he has Pickens and Mitch Trubisky throwing to him. If Pickens can be obtained reasonably, that's a trade to make 10 out of 10 times.
Sell: Cooper Kupp, Los Angeles Rams
What? The heck you say. Cooper Kupp is still one of the league's most productive receivers. He absolutely is, but he's also 30 years old and over the last two games has a total of six receptions for 50 yards.
Sure, that is a trend that likely won't continue, but he's also not going to catch 145 passes in a season again. Clearly, you need to get a great haul in return for Kupp, but if there is an owner that will trade a first and second-round pick or a first and a top-level player, it's a deal to consider.
Kupp was basically untouchable after his 2021 season but that shows you how quickly things can change. He's much closer to coming down the other way than ever getting to that level again.
